Colbert, whose version of The Late Show was set to premiere on September 8, 2015. "I'm very excited," Letterman said of Colbert, adding "I think he's going to do a wonderful job, and I wish Stephen and his staff and crew nothing but the greatest success, so look forward to that." In lieu of scheduled guests, retrospective packages were featured, including a collage of segments with child guests and a replay of a June 1996 visit that featured Letterman manning a Taco Bell drive-thru. Classic bits were also included in interstitials coming out of commercial breaks, mainly culled from Letterman's short-lived NBC daytime show that ran in 1980, as well as a July 1982 Late Night segment featuring Calvert DeForest, dressed as Santa Claus, reading Christmas stories to children. The last Late Show Top Ten List consisted of "Things I've Always Wanted to Say to Dave."

Just as with Johnny Carson's final Tonight Show 23 years earlier, a "day in the life" behind-the-scenes vignette was included, featuring Letterman and his staff putting together a show. In his closing remarks, Letterman gave thanks to former CBS chairman Howard Stringer and current president Leslie Moonves; Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra, each member of which Letterman identified by name; the writers, producers, researchers, and crew of Late Show ("It's so obvious every night and again tonight that they were so much better at their jobs than I am at my job"); his wife, Regina, and son, Harry, whom were seated in the audience ("I love you both, and really, nothing else matters, does it?"); and the audience who watched him over the years. As he threw it to Foo Fighters, Letterman closed by saying, "That's pretty much all I've got; the only thing I have left to do... for the last time on a television program, thank you and good night." Clad in tuxedos, Foo Fighters performed a reprisal of their 1997 song, "Everlong," a favorite of Letterman's, who cited it as having helped him through his recovery from heart
